andytrihard view log TRI-HARD posted: 6/1/2008 at 5:56 PM First Triathalon down! This one was a sprint. Wow! The swim KICKED my @$$!! 1/3 of a mile. I just did not have it. Got through that in 12:27. I was looking forward to the bike, but, I was wiped after the swim. Hypoxic, lightheaded and totally sucking wind. Got myself rolling on the bike after a few misses getting clipped in. 12 miles. Rode hard and steady, playing "leap frog" with another competitor. By the end of the bike I was ahead. 39: and change.Made a pretty good transition here and took off on the 5k. Had a crash course on Chi running the night before and did my best to utilize it here. I was tired, but had no noticeable pains. Felt like I was running on the slow side but pulled in a 26; and change ( a PR ) for a 1:23:something. They had some timing issues, preliminary posting had me listed in 18th place overall, but on closer examination found my swim time as 2:27! Still waiting for the final results and will post later. Overall, a positive experience. Will definatly work on the swim all week. Next week we run an international distance tri. Gotta TRI

andytrihard view log TRI-HARD posted: 6/1/2008 at 9:43 PM The 18th overall was false. My time was listed incorrectly. I wish I could say I was that good. The swim like I said was rough. I simply did not train hard enough. As it turns out I was also in the wrong starting wave. This was why my time was wrong. I should have been in wave 4, but started in wave 2. Aside from that, my breathing was off. Gotta TRI

I wish there were more duathlons out there--that's something I could see doing. Nice work, Andy. You survived your first and can only get that much better with each one.

blonderunner posted: 6/2/2008 at 2:59 PM I love triathlons! The training is especially fun perfecting all of the disciplines - each race is a unique adventure. I encourage everyone to try a tri. Pool sprints are always great for beginners. There is a great women's only spring in Utah called the Women of Steel - I have a link from my website www.blonderunner.com - it is sanctioned and well organized. See you at the races, Lora www.blonderunner.com Train hard, finish happy! "Live Healthy" www.blonderunner.com/blog/ Goal: Under 18:00 min in 5K

Duathlon started out being called Biathlon but to prevent confusition of the two had a name change. Upcoming Races: StumpJump 50K trail race: October 2008 6:30:00 Mercedes Marathon: Feb 2009 Boston: April 20, 2009
